Resurrection Plant

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:02:51 -0400

Myrothamnus flabellifolius (Resurrection Plant/Bush, Vukwabafile)

Myrothamnus flabellifolius is a member of a group of plants collectively known as resurrection plants for their ability to fully recover after appearing to be dead for months, during periods of extended drought. These resurrection plants are found in a vast area stretching from Namibia, through Botswana, to Zimbabwe and the northern parts of South Africa. The plant grows between rocky outcrops with very shallow soils and for approximately half of the year it exists in a dehydrated quiescent state.

African natives commonly smoked the leaves of Myrothamnus flabellifolius for its pain-killing properties, often combined with tobacco or taken as a snuff known as `vukwabafile'.

Our Myrothamnus flabellifolius is harvested in Northern South Africa.

Live Caapi Plant

Banisteriopsis caapi Vine Live Plants

Thousands of indigenous people of the region use Banisteriopsis Caapi Vine in sacred religious and healing ceremonies, as part of their traditional religions.

It is the main ingredient in Ayahuasca, a sacred medicine used for millennia in order to enter the sacred supernatural world for healing, divination, and worship. To prepare Ayahuasca, sections of Banisteriopsis Caapi vine were boiled with leaves from a number of potential admixture plants such as Psychotria viridis (Chacruna) or Diplopterys cabrerana (Chagropanga, Chaliponga) to make the Ayahuasca.

Our Live Banisteriopsis caapi plants are 1 to 2 foot, established, rooted vine sections with new leaf growth. These are rooted sections from our 10-year-old caapi plants grown in Hawaii.

Here's a word-for word copy (minus most of the gramatical errors) of part of an e-mail exchange about these Ayahuasca plants. Pretty much says it all (change the channel if there are children in the room):

"A one foot vine with a huge, live root ball with 4 - 6 two-to-four-inch shoots coming out is in fact a nice plant to sell and receive. That in fact is a kicking-ass plant to receive. MUCH MUCH nicer that a 1 foot whimpy tendril attached to a little rootball. A one foot solid vine with a huge rootball and a several young tendrils kicks mother-fucking ass. You list em like I said and I'll edit it and add in the ass-kicking shit about how kick ass these fuckers are. These arent some wimp plants that have to be pussy footed with."

Any questions?

Joshua Tree Seeds. Yucca brevifolia

Ahh... The captivating intrinsic, desolate beauty of the joshua tree. Not the easiest trees to grow, and very slow growing at that--just a few inches per year at most. But keep one going for a couple of decades and you'll have something nice and unique to pass on to the grandkids.

And if you happen to be a Gram Parsons fan or a Flying Burrito Brothers fan it's worth the price of a pack to give it a shot. And we'll throw in a free Flying Burritos brothers album with purchase of a pack. (Ok... We wont really, but we'll tell you how to pirate a copy off the internet if you dont already know how).

2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl (Paperback) by Daniel Pinchbeck

Pinchbeck second book is intended as an "extravagant thought experiment" centering around the Mayan prophecy that 2012 will bring about "the conclusion of a vast evolutionary cycle, and the potential gateway to a higher level of manifestation." More specifically, Pinchbeck's claim is that we are in the final stages of a fundamental global shift from a society based on materiality to one based on spirituality. Further, he argues that we are subconsciously creating the conditions necessary for such a shift with technology and our destruction of the Earth's ecoshpere.

This acclaimed metaphysical epic binds together the cosmological phenomena of modern times--from crop circles, to quantum theory, to burning man, to hallucinogenic drug use--to support the contention of the Maya that the year 2012 portends a global shift of unprecedented consequence.

Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind (Paperback) by Graham Hancock

Less than fifty thousand years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind.

His quest takes him on a detective journey from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds extraordinary Stone Age art. He uncovers clues that lead him to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful hallucinogen Ayahuasca with shamans, whose paintings contain images of "supernatural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other "dimensions." Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted caves be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent that we have barely begun to understand?

Now, in A Separate Reality, Castaneda tells how he returned to Mexico, determined to go deeper still into don Juan's world, to learn to see beyond the surface realities of life. He continues his dialogue with don Juan, intuitive, wise, demanding, and fierce in his struggle to see and know beyond the vision of ordinary men; and himself, a man of courage and intelligence who submits himself to don Juan's teaching, to enter into another world as a participant rather than an observer.

Book -- Food of the Gods

Here ethnobotanist Terrence McKenna puts forth the theory that magic mushrooms are the original ``tree of knowledge'' and that the general lack of psychedelic exploration is leading Western society toward eventual collapse or destruction--controversial statements, to say the least, though the argument's details often prove fascinating. In the beginning, McKenna tells us, there were protohumans with small brains and plenty of genetic competition, and what eventually separated the men from the apes was an enthusiasm for the hallucinogenic mushrooms that grew on the feces of local cattle. Claiming that psilocybin in the hominid diet would have enhanced eyesight, sexual enjoyment, and language ability and would have thereby placed the mushroom-eaters in the front lines of genetic evolution--eventually leading to hallucinogen-ingesting shamanistic societies, the ancient Minoan culture, and some Amazonian tribes today--McKenna also asserts that the same drugs are now outlawed in the US because of their corrosive effect on our male-dominated, antispiritual society. Unconsciously craving the vehicles by which our ancestors expanded their imaginations and found meaning in their lives, he says, we feast on feeble substitutes: coffee, sugar, and chocolate, which reinforce competition and aggressiveness; tobacco, which destroys our bodies; alcohol, whose abuse leads to male violence and female degradation; TV, which deadens our senses; and the synthetics--heroin, cocaine and their variations--which leave us victimized by our own addiction. On the other hand, argues McKenna, magic mushrooms, used in a spiritually enlightened, ritual manner, can open the door to greater consciousness and further the course of human evolution.

by Andrew Rutajit

Author of The Pharmacratic Inquisition and Astrotheology and Shamanism.

Andrew frequently writes about Christianity and its occult (or hidden) characteristics. This book will shed new light upon the popular (modern) interpretation of the Bible and various mysterious aspects of other religions. A vestibule is a passageway leading from the outer door to the inner Shrine. The entrance to the great cathedrals and mystery schools were often guarded by gargoyles and adorned with mysterious symbols intended to frighten away the simply curious. This book, like a vestibule itself, is intended to serve as an introduction to a larger body of work. Some of these essays can be found online at the author's website, while the rest are being released here for the first time. This book contains over eighty-five images/illustrations to provide a deeper understanding.

Nag Champa Incense

Nag Champa Incense. By Satya. 0.10g pack (8 sticks)

We carry the highest quality of Nag Champa, Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa, named after the Indian spiritual figure Sathya Sai Baba.

Nag Champa is the most popular and widely known incense from India. The aroma has become the archetypal epitome of aromatic quality and olfactory satisfaction.

Favored by all, Nag Champa has been burned and enjoyed from the temples of India to the concerts of famous musicians such as Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead and the Black Crowes.

The powerful fragrance produced by Nag inspires feelings of well being. This should come as no suprise as it is primarily composed of high quality Sandalwood. Nag Champa also contains the semi-liquid resin 'Halmaddi', from the indigenous Indian tree Ailanthus also known as the 'Tree of the Gods'.
